The 8 Golden Rules of Having a Healthy Grilling Season

Healthy up your burgers

Start with ground beef that’s at least 90 per cent lean. (Some people are under the illusion that flavour resides in fat, but it’s the lean part of the meat that is the most savoury.) You can boost your burger by mixing in any of the following: sautéed onions or mushrooms, a little Worcestershire sauce, grated cheddar or another aged cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, feta, or olives. Add additional fibre by serving your burgers on a whole-grain or sprouted grain bun or English muffin.
